The file is called "nasnite.zip", and should be at the standard ftp sites.
It's simple to install, but note that you must have access to a hex
editor to install it.  This file will actually let you race *any* of the
tracks at night, though many of them seem dark and gloomy since there aren't
any lights.  C***te, Richmond, and Bristol, however, are very impressive
at night.

Can anyone recommend a good hex editor for MS DOS or windows?
One that hands files up to size n where n is the size of my hard drive.

Thanks

Well, even some standard editors like emacs have hex-editing modes (in
emacs it's Esc-x-hexl-mode), but for something DOS-based the Norton
Utils. hex-editor (called 'DiskEdit') is a pretty good way to go...  I
used it for the nasnite thing and it took maybe 15 seconds - it's pretty
intuitive to use.

Forgot to mention, that yes, DiskEdit will handle files up to the
size of your hard drive....

The Nasnite.exe utility to race at night is on the IGN homepage in the
utility section for downloading. No hex editor required.
The address is listed below my sig.

Can someone tell me where to get the nasnite.zip file for night racing in
NASCAR. I looked at the IWCC site and at that didnt.doit place and
couldn't find it. Also, does it include instructions(like what to hex edit
etc)??

thanks
Craig

Boy, you didn't spend much time looking, did you???  It's at
didnt.doit.wisc.edu, in the directory NASCAR/updates/nasnite.zip - kinda
hard to miss actually since there's only one or two other files in that
directory! :-) Instructions included, installation is trivial.  Make sure
you type "binary" before transferring the files.
